My grandfather, dad and his brothers used to hunt with Art. I've heard some great stories about his hunting abilities.

As for owning a place on the Flowage, I'm not sure if Art did or not. I do know that he owned a place called the Bear Bar in Winchester. Here's a link to the site, which includes a history section that features a small write-up on Art.
